Chapter 59: Not Alone
Gu Qingyan talked to Han Yan all the way, and took him to the cliff, Han Yan touched his waist and felt that something was missing, so he asked Gu Qingyan: "Where is the jade pendant?" ”
Gu Qingyan turned around and said, "I took it off when I put on your cloak." ”
"Does that do anything?"
"To prevent you from going mad, actually, that's the antidote."
Gu Qingyan was originally thinking about whether to tell Han Yan at first, but she believed that Han Yan would not need it, so she didn't explain more.
The cliff is not very far from the Blissful Residence, and it didn't take long The two of them saw the big tree that Gu Qingyan said, and they were about to take a few steps further, when four figures rushed up from both sides of the "whoosh" sound, and two in the front and two in the front surrounded Gu Qingyan and Han Yan in the middle.
"See Master." The four of them were all dressed in dark ink-colored clothes, the same color as this cliff, and they clasped their hands and fists in unison.
Gu Qingyan said: "You all go down, there is nothing else to do today." ”
After speaking, the four of them disappeared in an instant, and Han Yan looked at the location where the four people disappeared under Gu Qingyan's instructions, and saw that there were really ropes hanging on the edge of the cliff, but looking down again, the ropes did not enter the jungle under the cliff, and they couldn't see their heads.
Han Yan remembered that Gu Qingyan and Su Tanxue had mentioned that he almost fell off the cliff, and looked at Gu Qingyan with a frown, Gu Qingyan was standing not far away, and the appearance of standing obediently made Han Yan feel relieved.
Han Yan returned to Gu Qingyan's side, and saw Gu Qingyan pointing to the tree and saying to him, "If you come here in early autumn, you will be able to see the beautiful fruit I said." ”
Now the big tree has lost its leaves, and its bare trunk is strong, but the few that stick out of the cliff are terrifying to look at, Gu Qingyan is really a person who does not spare his life.
didn't stay long on the cliff, Gu Qingyan and Han Yan came down, and Beiming stepped forward and said, "Master, the second master has brought Miss Yiyi over." ”
Zong Yue brought Yiyi over to meet a few of Yiyi's friends who were originally in Shimen.
Yiyi woke up at noon today, drank Zong Yue's hangover medicine, and felt dizzy, and when he was eating, he mentioned to Zong Yue that he wanted to come to see his friends who were originally in Shimen, and Zong Yue ordered someone to prepare some snacks and food, and brought Yiyi over.
When he arrived at Shimen Zongyue, he heard that Gu Qingyan and Han Yan came over early in the morning, and he thought silently in his heart, for Han Yan, Gu Qingyan really opened his world invisibly, how could outsiders enter the Shimen originally, even Gu Qingyan's personal girl, the number of times she entered the Shimen was only a handful.
Yiyi was playing with his partners, Zong Yue began to ask others what Hanyan and Gu Qingyan had done in Shimen, but the people under Gu Qingyan's hands were tight-mouthed, even if Gu Qingyan didn't give orders, they didn't say a word, Zong Yue sighed helplessly: "If the valley master comes to ask, you won't say it?" ”
A ghost guard replied: "As long as my master is safe, I won't say anything." ”
Zong Yue shook his head helplessly, okay, really good, he is also boring, he has to come to this wall, and remembered that yesterday Gu Qingyan instigated Xu Shaolin, Bailimo, and Hanyan to take turns pouring wine on him, and instigated his apprentice Yiyi to drink fruit wine, I really don't understand, why did I fall for Gu Qingyan's evil.
"Yo, second brother woke up, I thought you had to sleep for a day." Gu Qingyan came from a distance, and patted Yiyi's shoulder when he passed by Yiyi's side.
Zong Yue sat in the pavilion, the hand that was originally going to make tea stopped, and when Gu Qingyan and Han Yan came over and sat down, Gu Qingyan took the tea set in his hand.
"Your second brother is not weak to that extent." Zong Yue said, "Where are you coming from?" ”
"Cliff." Han Yan said.
Zong Yue also smelled a familiar smell on Han Yan's body: "You entered the Blissful Residence?" ”
"Hmm."
As soon as Han Yan finished speaking, he glanced up at Gu Qingyan, just as Gu Qingyan also raised his head, and in the blink of an eye towards Han Yan, the corners of the two people's mouths rose slightly, Zong Yue looked at this tacit understanding, and inexplicably felt a little chill down his spine.
Han Yan deliberately lowered his voice, leaned over to Zong Yue, and asked him in a low voice, "What is your illusion in Blissful Residence?" ”
Gu Qingyan pretended not to hear, and fiddled with the tea set in her hand to make tea for them, but she was paying attention in her heart.
This is the secret in Zong Yue's heart, at that time, Gu Qingyan and Baili Mo asked him a lot, he just didn't say anything, he insisted on it for so many years, how could he easily let Han Yan ask.
"My life is dull, what else can I have?" Zong Yue's old-fashioned answer, Gu Qingyan has heard it more than a hundred times.
Han Yan continued to ask: "I heard that even Xu Shaolin, who has a strong mind, has not escaped the demons. ”
"That's him, it's just that he has too many things in his heart, so he has demons."
Zong Yue picked up the tea that Gu Qingyan had just handed over, and sent it to his mouth, not paying attention to the temperature, he swallowed the tea in a panic, and frowned.
Seeing this, Han Yan teased him: "You have something in your heart, you really can't hide it." ”
"Why don't you say that this girl did it on purpose."
Gu Qingyan glared at Zong Yue: "You guys are talking about yours, I am kind enough to make tea, and you still rely on me if you burn it yourself?" ”
Gu Qingyan's tea must be brewed at a high water temperature, and then when the water temperature is slightly reduced, the fragrance of the tea will slowly disperse, and then drink it again, which is a good time to smell the fragrance and taste the tea.
"Master!" Yiyi came at a very good time, entered the pavilion, and saluted Zong Yue, Gu Qingyan, and Han Yan successively.
Zong Yue asked, "Have you finished saying hello to your friends?" ”
"Hmm." Yiyi smiled sweetly.
Gu Qingyan felt that Yiyi was much more pleasing to the eye, how could there be a little girl who was still a child who gave herself so much burden every day, so that she was so old that she even smiled and spoke, and she didn't look like a girl.
"They have a short training time these days, so you can play with them more." Gu Qingyan said that these days, because I want Dongsheng and a few of them to recuperate, the training time has been temporarily reduced, and there is more time to play, and those children are the happiest.
It is also because of the laughter and laughter of these children that the ruthlessness of Shimen's training is hidden in the dark.
Yiyi looked at Zong Yue, and seeing that Zong Yue nodded, Yiyi jumped up and down to play with his friends again. After Gu Qingyan saw Yiyi leaving, she asked Zong Yue: "Does the second brother plan to take this child with him all the time to teach it by himself?" ”
"Otherwise, she's my apprentice."
"I mean that includes us going to Biluo Palace." Gu Qingyan roughly calculated the number of people on this journey, which was quite a lot.
Gu Qingyan said that Zong Yue hadn't thought about this question, not long after he woke up today, he thought of this: "Big brother hasn't set a time yet, right?" ”
Gu Qingyan shook his head, although he kept saying that after the year, the time on the post of Biluo Palace was the day of the beginning of summer, and there would be a April after the year passed, but from here to Biluo Palace, it would take a month to get a quick horse, but Xu Shaolin had not set a time, and Gu Qingyan didn't ask much.
"At least a month left, I'll see what she does before deciding." Zong Yue said, "By the way, you came out early this morning?" ”
"Well, what's wrong?" Gu Qingyan thought to herself, didn't Zong Yue come and know that she and Han Yan had been here for almost a day.
Zong Yue also wanted to say what he wanted to say when he saw Gu Qingyan just now, but he was disrupted by Han Yan asking him about Jile Ju, but now he finally thought about it again, so he said: "The boss has arranged the matter of the next two days, so that we can all set aside time." ”
"Why are you going?" Gu Qingyan asked.
Zong Yue touched the temperature of the teacup, it cooled down a little, and the fragrance of the tea came out, took a sip of satisfaction, and said, "Tomorrow is the shabby festival in the town, and the boss has received an invitation to let us go together." The day after tomorrow, a medicinal bath hot spring was prepared at Kirin Mountain. ”
As soon as she heard that this meant to take them out to play, Gu Qingyan's eyes lit up instantly, she always went out for a walk alone, although there were Beiming and them around her, but it felt different. In fact, more than that, she wants to travel with her family.
"Are they going to go with my parents?"
Zong Yue shook his head: "I don't know, the boss sent someone to say it, I don't know the result." ”
"Okay." Gu Qingyan can guess the ending nine times out of ten, although she is used to it, sometimes she feels a little lost.
The sun gradually set in the west, Gu Qingyan and others also went out of the stone gate, Zong Yue took Yiyi back to Baicaotang, Han Yan was going to send Gu Qingyan back to Jingxin Courtyard, but when he heard Gu Qingyan say that he wanted to go to Gu Ning, he didn't say anything, and went back to Yishan Residence.
Gu Qingyan took Beiming to Gu Ning, saw Gu Ning, briefly recounted today's old ghost, and asked Gu Ning: "Daddy has this matter?" ”
Gu Ning said "um", confirmed what the old ghost said, and remembered that it had been more than ten years since this incident, in the first few years, they had indeed guarded against the old ghost, at that time the old ghost was not called "old ghost", he had his own name An Shiwen, one day this person was like being sucked out of his soul, day by day like a walking corpse, his eyes were empty, and he often sat on the edge of the bed and did nothing for a day.
At that time, Gu Ning still thought that if An Shiwen continued like this, he would lose his last value, at that time, Gu Ning already had a family, and Gu Qingyan had already been born, in order to prevent himself from accidentally injuring his family by fiddling with poison, he fell in love with An Shiwen's ability to make and study poisons, so he left this person.
Later, the turning point of the matter happened when Gu Ning once took Gu Qingyan to Shimen, Gu Qingyan accidentally walked into the stone house, and met An Shiwen, who was not a ghost at that time, Gu Qingyan opened his mouth and called "old ghost", An Shiwen heard the girl's immature but vigilant voice, so he raised his eyes to look at Gu Qingyan.
"What do you call me?"
"Old ghost."
An Shiwen wore his hair loose, his beard was unkempt, his eyes were blank, and the clothes on his body were not the same, in short, he looked sloppy, his voice was still hoarse and low, and he kept holding a piece of paper in his hand.
Gu Qingyan looked at the person in front of her with a look of disgust, at that time she was still the emperor in the palace, the golden branch and jade leaf, where had she ever seen such a raunchy person.
"You're not afraid?"
"Why are you afraid?" Gu Qingyan boasted that she was in this peach blossom stream, no one dared to hurt her, even if she did, she would not be able to run, and she would only work lightly at that time. No matter how bad it is, there is her father, master, and a few brothers here, so she is not afraid.
"How old are you?" An Shiwen remembered that he once had a daughter, looking at Gu Qingyan, it was as if he had seen his daughter, perhaps, this is the so-called longing for illness.
Gu Qingyan thought for a while: "It's five years old." ”
At the age of five, An Shiwen thought that if he hadn't caused the disaster, maybe his daughter wouldn't have died, and she would be as old as Gu Qingyan.
Family affection is a kind of emotion that can make people warm, and it can always awaken the deepest softness in people's hearts.
"Five, five." An Shiwen muttered repeatedly.
Gu Qingyan slowly approached him little by little: "Why do you keep repeating my words?" ”
"Because I once had a daughter, and if she were still alive, she would be as old as you."
"Oh, then why are you here?" Gu Qingyan approached, only to see An Shiwen with shackles on his hands and feet.
Noticing Gu Qingyan's eyes, An Shiwen looked at himself and smiled bitterly: "I am a prisoner." ”
Gu Qingyan stopped talking, her mother said that the people who were being held were prisoners, and they had done something wrong.
"Are you a bad person, then?" Gu Qingyan was silent for a few seconds before asking An Shiwen.
An Shiwen didn't know how to answer this question, he was stunned, good and bad, how to distinguish it, there was no correct conclusion.
"Maybe I can be a good guy or I can be a bad guy." After An Shiwen said this, he looked at Gu Qingyan fixedly, he wanted to know how the five-year-old girl in front of him would answer.
"Then you'd better be a useful person." Gu Qingyan put his hands behind his back, looking like educating him, learning to say ambiguous words to him.
This move caused An Shiwen to laugh: "Why? ”
"As my father said, this is Shimen, and all the people here are useful people." It turned out that Gu Qingyan was imitating what Gu Ning said, no wonder the way he learned it was a little awkward.
But An Shiwen didn't know what Gu Qingyan's identity was, and he didn't want to ask, because he knew that if this child was a member of Shimen, one day, they would be able to meet again: "Okay, be a useful person." ”
Gu Ning knew that Gu Qingyan had entered the stone house by mistake, and it was the secret guard who was secretly guarding the stone house to report it, Gu Ning was worried that something would happen to Gu Qingyan, so he put down the matter in his hand and rushed here, who would have wanted to listen to these conversations at the door.
waited for an interview with An Shiwen on the second day, and then there was an old ghost.
Gu Ning originally thought that Gu Qingyan still remembered this, so he never mentioned it to Gu Qingyan, but when Gu Qingyan came to ask him today, he was really stunned.
After Gu Qingyan heard Gu Ning tell her about this, she was also stunned, she remembered that the first time she saw the old ghost was not when she was five years old, but the vague picture in her memory seemed to be right with what Gu Ning said.
After that, Gu Ning and Gu Qingyan said: "This person is indeed the original Fu Tu person, and then I abolished his martial arts, and has been staying in Shimen to be responsible for making drugs, he has not been out of Shimen in the past few years, and he has never been out of Shimen, after you took over Shimen, I removed the secret guard who guarded him." ”
Gu Qingyan twitched the corner of his mouth: "Dad, you can rest assured." ”
Gu Ning smiled: "Then what has he done in the past few years that is not good for Shimen, you, and Peach Blossom Stream?" ”
In fact, Gu Ning's mind turned around just now, and he also wanted to use this matter to cure Gu Qingyan's problem that it was difficult to trust people.
Since that fire, almost all of the people around Gu Qingyan have been with Gu Qingyan for at least eight years, because they don't trust people, there are too few people around Gu Qingyan who can be called friends.
Gu Qingyan didn't care what Gu Ning was thinking about in her mind, she just followed Gu Ning's words, as if all these years, the old ghost had indeed been doing things that were beneficial to her, and there were really no unfavorable things, so she shook her head at Gu Ning.
"And what are you going to do?" Gu Ning asked her.
Gu Qingyan hesitated, trusting this kind of thing, once there are wrinkles, no matter how much she wipes it, it will not be smoothed, not to mention that now she is wary of Futu everywhere, but when she looks back, she finds that there is a person who has been in her Shimen for more than ten years, which makes it a little difficult for her to be like she didn't know before.
After a while, Gu Qingyan spoke: "I'll let people restore the secret guard of the stone house first, and then make plans when the futu thing passes." ”
Gu Ning did not interfere with Gu Qingyan's decision, but Gu Qingyan remembered the shabby festival mentioned by Zong Yue, and asked Gu Ning casually: "Dad, will you go to the shabby festival tomorrow in the town?" ”
Gu Ning thought that this kid changed the topic very quickly every time, but fortunately, they were not slow in thinking, and said: "No, your master's friend in the city handed over a post, saying that he wanted to treat him, and your master was going to take your mother to go, and we would also go and see." ”
Gu Qingyan also obeyed the love of her father, how many years have it been, the husband and wife really don't want to separate anything, wherever Gu Ning goes, where Yun Luan goes, where Yun Luan goes, where Gu Ning goes, Gu Qingyan can't be inserted into the lives of these two people, and sometimes they wonder if they are biological.
Before he could speak, he heard Gu Ning add: "Did you arrange the Qilin Mountain Hot Spring the day after tomorrow?" ”
Gu Qingyan nodded.
Gu Ning smiled with satisfaction and said, "We will also go, after all, it was prepared for us by your eldest brother, you are just a foil, hahaha." ”
Gu Qingyan looked helpless: "Dad." ”
"What's wrong?"
"Am I your own daughter?"
"Yes, but your mother is also my own mother."
Gu Qingyan really wanted to spurt out a mouthful of blood, and after saying "goodbye", she didn't stay longer, and left quickly, after all, when night fell, she was afraid that turning back would affect the love of the husband and wife, and this crime would have to fall on her head.
Looking at Gu Qingyan's back and running away, Gu Ning laughed out loud and said softly: "Girl, there is also someone next to you who will give you the highest favor, you will understand." ”
Yun Luan walked in at this time, Gu Ning pulled Yun Luan and let her sit in his arms, Yun Luan asked, "You're not worried?" "She's talking about the old ghost.
Gu Ning said: "I'm worried, but we girls can solve it by ourselves, and besides, she has never been alone." ”
